Capt. Petrie, of Company I, has received word that the First regiment of the Michigan National Guard will be reviewed by President Roosevelt at Detroit next Monday. It is the occasion for the annual national reunion of the Spanish War Veterans. The state will furnish transportation for the men just the same as when the boys went to camp, so that there will be no expense to the members of Company I for transportation. The Detroit papers also say the the city of Detroit has made arrangements to give the boys a sumptuous dinner. The event will be one that nobody can afford to miss. It is not often that the people of Ann Arbor have an opportunity to see the president of the republic. The company boys will leave on the 7:45 (standard) train on the Michigan Central railroad. This will get them into Detroit in time to enjoy themselves for a few hours before the parade. Capt. Petrie is very anxious that a large company leave Ann Arbor next Monday morning and he wants Company I to make as good a showing in the parade at Detroit as they did at camp. Everybody is assured of a good time.
